In this article, I will deal with the correlations between economic policies and migration within Latin America. In particular, I shall focus on the economic crisis of the 80s and the neoliberal policies of the 90s in Latin America, as well as their impact on the evolution of migration flows. I will show how the passage from an Import Substitution Industrialization economic model to a neoliberal one affected the mobility of the Latin American people. The article will investigate the relationship between economic restructuring and metropolitanization, rural-urban migration, and border migration within the Latin American territory. In conclusion, I will demonstrate how the evolution of directed migration to the United States up to the year 2000 stemmed from the first Bracero Program (1917-1921)
